NEWHALL - Two lanes of the southbound Golden State (5) Freeway and the freeway’s Pico Canyon onramp were shut down in Newhall for about five hours this morning after a pickup truck pulling an empty horse trailer struck an aluminum-laden big rig, causing a fuel spill and injuring one person, authorities said.

The accident on the freeway just north of Lyons Avenue was reported at 2:58 a.m., said California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Jacobs.

The pickup rear-ended the big rig, resulting in a fuel spill that closed the freeway’s two right lanes and the Pico Canyon Road onramp until about 8 a.m., he said.

At least one person was transported to Henry Mayo Hospital, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Kyle Sanford.
